VietJet A321neo loses front tires in hard landing

A VietJet A321neo lost its forward tires during a hard landing at Buon Ma Thuot, with passengers and crew evacuating via slides.

Images obtained by FlightGlobal show the aircraft (VN-A653) with emergency slides deployed and its nose gear tires completely shorn off. One image shows what appears to be the remains of firefighting foam under the right engine cowling.
